This Is Taking Too Long

This is taking way too long!! What is it going to take to finally heal? What do I need to do to start seeing change in my life? I don't know about you but when I want something done, sometimes I can be so impatient. Come on already! Sometimes we can look at recovery as a drive thru can't we? "Yes, I will take the life change meal, super size that! Also a large drink of healed wounds, hold the side of defects, and hurry, I got things to do!" But that is not how it works is it? It would be nice with some of the painful stuff so many,maybe even you are walking around with today. Alcoholism, drugs, broken relationships, abuse, divorce,sexual &physical abuse, workaholism, anger, fear of failure, shame, doubt, death, sickness,& family disorders, all painful stuff. Even the ones that come from decent backgrounds have pain they are working thru. I was reading some stuff on dealing with life's junk from Robert McGee and he said, "put yourself in an environment of growth, which includes honesty,affirming relationships, right thinking, the ministry of the Holy Spirit and time." Now that sounds pretty familiar to me. We call that Celebrate Recovery. I am so grateful that though life change and healing may not be on my time table, Christ uses all those elements in CR to bring healing in huge ways. One thing is for certain, we can drive in to our CR's across the nation, & Christ is ready to serve you the most amazing order of His wonderful mercy, a truckload of love like you have never experienced, a large drink of compassion, care, and a free gift of grace if you order today with steady dose of change. Now that is a super size deal! Thank God for CR that is an environment of growth, which includes honesty, affirming relationships, right thinking, the ministry of the Holy Spirit and time. Change is possible!!

Have you ever been doing something for so long you just get tired? Take running for example. What are some key components to running a long distance? You need to: dress the part! You can't run a mile in clothing that's too thick or doesn't breathe, and you want to have good shoes on! No flip-flops!"Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm." Eph. 6:13 hydrate and fuel your body before and for the extent of the distance."But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life." John 4:14 get and give some encouragement as you go. You're not in this alone!"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.I will strengthen you and help…

By Kareena Holloway, Fellowship Bible Church NWA Celebrate Recovery Women's Encourager Coach Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Psalm 139:23-24

We had put our house on the market a few years ago. Before we could do that, we needed to clean it out. In the process of that, we had to go through all of the rooms and decide what was to be donated, thrown away, or stored away for later use. In other words, we had to take a look at things we'd been hiding away or shoving away in there! As the family worked through the process, we each went through the usual, expected resistance at one time or another of just not wanting to confront it. Being 100% honest, it had been so easy to just push it away in a closet and pretend it wasn't even there. However, we pushed through it and got the jobs done.

​"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." -Proverbs 22:6
"I love being able to learn about the Bible at Celebration Place. We learn lessons from the Bible which teaches us about Jesus's love, forgiveness, and grace. I also love to sing songs and help lead worship with Miss Melanie and Miss Madilyn. I LOVE CP!" That's a direct quote from my 9-year old daughter who has been with CP since she was 2 years old. My husband and I are so incredibly thankful for Celebrate Recovery being a family ministry which offers care and helpful, Biblical life-teaching for all ages. Many men and women can come and freely give their hurts, habits, and hang-ups to Godhere while knowing that their children of all ages are much more than just cared for. They are accepted and loved, cherished and taught Biblical truths. We are blessed to have Sylvia…
